18 CHAMPIONSHIP
GOLF HOLES
A Celebration
of the Game
Golf is about so much more than the game. Spending time in the great outdoors. Challenging yourself. Enjoying the camaraderie of friends. That’s why, in addition to beautifully maintaining our championship golf course and scheduling a full calendar of golf events, we offer a wide range of other golf-related opportunities for all our members, regardless of age or gender. Whether you’re a single-digit handicapper, a twice-a-month player, or a junior (or senior) golfer who’s just learning the game, there’s no better place to embrace all that golf has to offer.
A Course Inspired By Golf’s Golden Age
As you would expect, our 18-hole Brian Silva Signature Course is impeccably maintained to deliver perfect course conditions week-in and week-out. But the “expected” ends there. Every hole at Renaissance, by design, offers up a series of strategic challenges that will test the best and delight the rest. How you score will depend on your skill, your strategy, your creativity—and your tolerance for risk. The Renaissance course is renowned for its classic design features, straight from golf’s Golden Age of Architecture. It’s also well known for being a ton of fun to play.
LEVEL UP Your Golf Game
The North Shore’s Best Practice facilities & Instruction
Golf Instruction
No matter your skill level, our PGA Professionals consider it their mission to help you improve your game while continuing to enjoy yourself. They offer a wide variety of instructional options, including one-on-one personalized training, as well as many golf clinics and schools. Whether you want to work on your full swing, pitching, chipping, putting—you name it. It’s all yours for the asking.
Short Game Area & Practice Greens
The Short Game Area is designed to emulate the green, approach, and bunker conditions players will encounter on the course, making it an invaluable space for practicing one of the game’s most crucial skills—shots from 60 yards in. Additionally, members and guests have access to two Practice Greens. The first, located near the first tee, offers an ideal spot to hit a few last putts while waiting for the first tee to clear. The second, situated next to the Golf Shop and Practice Fairway, provides a convenient setting for sharpening one’s chipping and putting skills.
Practice Fairway
Adjacent to the Golf Shop, members will find the Practice Fairway featuring expansive natural teeing ground, an all-season 1.5-acre turf teeing area and multiple green complexes strategically placed at various lengths from 100 to 260 yards.
Indoor Sports Simulators
Our Full Swing simulators are available year-round for a fun afternoon or more serious game improvement endeavors. Play some of the most prestigious courses in the world from the comfort of The Boot as well as other sports, such as baseball, football, and zombie dodgeball.

Brian Silva
Designing Renowned Courses for Over 25 Years
Brian Silva’s genius is that he views each hole as a separate entity, rather than trying to force-fit a seamless feel throughout an entire course. There is no such thing as a “typical” Silva design. Silva’s original work continues to earn wide praise for its incorporation of classic design features in a modern context. He is also regarded as one of America’s leading experts in restoring revered golf courses designed by the great architects of the Golden Age of Golf Architecture.
